The following is a description of the root-shirt (four) handle of the present invention. -N juice [Embodiment] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described. The use of the invention is not intended to be limiting as described as a squid. 0 (4) Protection Fan S With the wireless 11 letter technology shirt, the seam communication service is provided & 0758-A34330TWF_MTKI-09-l 13 201016068 The radio module can be co-located and coexisted in a mobile electronic device. Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing the structure of a plurality of radio communication systems according to an embodiment of the present invention. The mobile electronic device 100 can be a notebook computer, a mobile phone, a portable gaming device, a portable multimedia player, a Global Positioning System (GPS), a receiver, and the like. The mobile electronic device 1 includes a plurality of radio modules for providing different wireless communication services. For example, the mobile electronic device 100 may include an IEEE 802.11 radio module 101, an IEEE 802.16 radio module 102, an IEEE 802.15.1 radio Φ module 1 〇 3, and a Co-located Coexistence (CLC) radio manager. 104. The IEEE 802.11 radio module 101 is in communication with the IEEE 802.11 device 201 via an air interface in compliance with the IEEE 802.11 protocol. For example, the IEEE 802.11 device 201 may be an IEEE 802.11 Base Station (BS), an Access Point (AP), or a Station (STA). The IEEE 802.11 radio module 101 may be an IEEE 802.11 BS, AP or STA operating in the same manner as the router to enable the IEEE 802.11 device 201 to connect to the Internet through the IEEE 802.16 device 202. In accordance with the IEEE 802.16 protocol, the IEEE 802.16 radio module 102 communicates with the IEEE 802.16 device 202 via an air interface. For example, the IEEE 802.16 device 202 can be an IEEE 802.16 BS or a Relay Station (RS). In accordance with the IEEE 802.15.1 protocol, the IEEE 802.15.1 radio module 103 communicates with the IEEE 802.15.1 device 203 via the air interface. For example, the IEEE 802.15.1 device 203 can be a Bluetooth headset. The CLC radio manager 104 provides an interface between the IEEE 802.16 radio module 102 and the CLC radio module and detects the activity of the IEEE 802.16 radio module 102 and the CLC radio module to coordinate IEEE 802.16 no 0758-A34330TWFMTKI-09-113 η 201016068 Operation of line module 102 and CLC radio module. The CLC radio module is a radio module coexisting with the IEEE 802.16 radio module in the mobile electronic device. When transmitting and receiving radio signals, the CLC radio module interferes with the IEEE 802.16 radio module, wherein the clc radio The module is such as the ffiEE 802.11 radio module ii and the IEEE 802.15.1 radio module 103 shown in FIG. In some embodiments of the invention, each radio module may each include an antenna for transmitting and receiving radio signals. Of course, a shared antenna can be designed between a plurality of radio modules to improve area efficiency, and the present invention is not limited thereto. IEEE 802.11 is a set of standards for performing Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) communications in the 2.4, 3.6, and 5 GHz bands. A WLAN module (such as the IEEE 802.11 radio module 101) that is incorporated into the mobile electronic device 100 is used to wirelessly connect to the Internet to view web pages, send and receive emails, chat online, download and play multimedia content, and the like. WLANs are often used as extensions to wired local area networks (LANs) within buildings to provide the last few meters of connectivity between wired networks and mobile or fixed devices. Most WLANs operate at a 2.4 GHz license-free frequency band with a throughput rate of up to 2 Mbps. The 802.11b standard is only a direct sequence with a transmission rate of up to UMbps. The 802.llg standard operates at a raw data rate of 54 Mb/s or a net throughput of 19 Mb/s. The WLAN module connects the user to the LAN via an Ap. APs typically receive, buffer, and transmit data between WLAN modules and wired network infrastructure. Each AP can support an average of 20 devices, and its coverage is up to 20 meters in the area of obstacles (such as 0758-A34330TWF_MTKI-09-l 13 g 201016068 step, stairs and elevator), in the clear line of sight Up to 100 meters. Figure 2 is an exemplary diagram of the IEEE 802.11 scan, authentication (authentjcati〇n) and associated process. The access process of the WLAN module can involve three steps: active/passive scanning, authentication and association to enable the WLAN module to be associated with the AP. The WLAN module uses an active sweeping cat to wipe the surrounding wireless network and find a compatible device. In an active scanning mode, the WLAN module prepares a channel list and broadcasts a Probe request armature on each of the reference channels, the probe request having a blank Service Identification Number (SSID). The AP then receives the probe request and transmits the probe response. The WLAN module is associated with the Ap with the strongest signal. In the other way, the WLAN module only unicasts the probe request (with a specific SSID). If the AP receives the probe request, the AP transmits a probe response. Active Scan Mode Enables the WLAN module to access a specific wireless network. The passive scan used by the WLAN module discovers the surrounding wireless network by monitoring the beacon frame periodically transmitted by the AP. The WLAN module insures one channel column _ I and listens for beacons on each list. To prevent unauthorized users from accessing the wireless network, a five-way charge is required between the WLAN module and the Access Controller (AC) for managing all Aps of the WLAN or between the WLAN and the associated AP. There are two types of available authentication: Open System Authentication; Shared Key Authentication. If the WLAN module selects a compatible network with a specific SSID and authenticates an AP, the group transmits an association request frame to the AP. The AP transport association responds to the WLAN module and adds customer information to its database. The WLAN module can enter the power saving mode for a long time (卩〇^^1:8 heart ratio ^?8) mode, where? The 8 mode is also called the sleep mode. 0758-A34330TWF—ΜΤΚ]-09-113 9 201016068 Figure 3 shows the newsletter _ request, hoping to have information indicating that it will enter PS mode. This information is carried by the Medium Access Control (MAC) data shown in Figure 4, which is carried by the power management bit 42 of the frame control block 410. Subsequently, Ap can update the current working update record and buffer the packets transmitted to the WLAN module until the WLAN module transmits a polling request (referred to as PS-Poll) to the AP to specifically request the packet. As part of the beacon frame, the AP periodically transmits information indicating which WLAN modules have packets temporarily stored in the AP, wherein the information is located in the frame entity block 460 of the MAC data 4 Table (Traffic Indicati〇n

Map, TIM) in the information element. Therefore, the WLAN module periodically wakes up and vomits 6 up) to receive the beacon frame. If there is an indicator in the beacon frame indicating that at least one packet is to be transmitted in the Ap, the corresponding module is kept awake and transmits a PS-Poll to the AP to obtain the buffered packet. The signal transmission between the WLAN module and the AP for obtaining the buffered packet can be referred to Fig. 5. In addition, if the data stored in the buffer is stored in the received data frame or the management frame, wherein the data is carried by the data bit 43 of the frame control block 410 of the MAC data 400, the corresponding data is The WLAN module remains awake and transmits a PS-Poll to the AP. The beacon frame, the PS-P〇ll, the response, and the data frame can be distinguished by the type bit 440 and the subtype bit 450 of the frame control field 41 of the MAC data 400. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of frame exchange for obtaining a buffer packet on a timeline. The AP periodically transmits a beacon frame 610, wherein the beacon frame 610 includes all network information about the presence of the WLAN network. If the WLAN module recognizes that the AP has buffered packets of 0758-A34330TWF_MTKI-09-l 13 , n 201016068 according to the received beacon frame 610, the WLAN module requests the packet by transmitting the PS-Poll request 620. After receiving the PS-Poll request 620, the AP responds with an acknowledgement (ACK) 630 and transmits the buffered frame 640. Finally, the WLAN module responds to the AP with an acknowledgment (ACK) 650 based on the received frame. Note that for the WLAN communication protocol not mentioned, reference may be made to the corresponding IEEE 802.11 standard, which is succinct and will not be described again. IEEE 802.15 is the fifteenth working group of IEEE 802 and specializes in the Wireless Personal Area Network (PAN) standard, where IEEE 802.15.1 is a set of standards for Blue Φ Buds. Bluetooth is an open wireless protocol for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances and establishing a personal domain network. WLAN and Bluetooth share a portion of the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band, which is the 83 MHz bandwidth. Referring to Figure 7, Bluetooth uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology and can hop across 79 different 1MHz bandwidth channels in the band. WLAN uses direct sequence spread (Direct Sequence Spread) Spectrum, DSSS), instead of frequency hopping, the carrier is kept at the center of a channel, which is 22MHz bandwidth. When a WLAN module (such as IEEE 802.11 radio module 101) and a Bluetooth (such as IEEE 802.15.1 radio module 103) operate in the same area, a single 22MHz bandwidth WLAN channel and 79 1MHz bandwidth Bluetooth The 22 channels in the channel occupy the same frequency range. When the frequency of the Bluetooth transmission is within the frequency range of the WLAN transmission simultaneously with it, a certain degree of interference occurs, depending on the strength of each signal. A Bluetooth device (such as IEEE 802.15.1 device 203) can be used as a master device for controlling the PAN, and a Bluetooth module (such as IEEE 802.15.1 0758-A34330TWF_MTKl-09-l 13 Π 201016068 radio module 103) can be used. As a slave device (9) ave device that is wirelessly connected to the master device. The Bluetooth device uses the query process (calling to use Qiao(7)(3) as a generation) to discover surrounding devices or to be discovered by other devices where they are located. The Bluetooth device, as a well-known query device, attempts to find other devices in the vicinity and actively transmits the query request. As a well-known discoverable device, the Bluetooth device can be queried and listen to these query requests and transmit responses. The query process utilizes a specific physical channel to receive query requests and transmit responses. The process of forming a connection is asymmetrical and requires a Bluetooth device to perform a paging (connection) process when another Bluetooth device is connectable (page scan). The paging process is set to respond to the paging process by only a particular Bluetooth device. The connectable device utilizes a specific physical channel to listen for connection request packets from the paging (connected) device. The physical channel is specific to the connectable device, so only one paging device that knows the connectable device can communicate on this channel. Both the paging device and the connectable device are connected to other Bluetooth devices in the piconet. There are two types of connections that can be used for the connection between the master device and the slave device. Synchronous connection oriented/extended synchronous connection (SCO/eSCO) links, and asynchronous connection guidance (aSynchr) 〇nous connection oriented, ACL) link. A SCO/eSCO link (also known as a synchronous link) is a symmetric point-to-point link between a master device and a particular slave device. The master keeps the SCO/eSCO link by using the reserved slot at regular intervals. After the SCO/eSCO link is established, some synchronous packets (such as ΗV and DV packets) are usually used for voice transmission, and these synchronization packets are not retransmitted. The master transmits synchronous packets at regular intervals, for example every 2, 4 or 6 time slots, depending on the type of packet being transmitted, which is usually 0758-A34330TWF ΜΤΚΙ-09-113 201016068 Each time slot is 625. HV and DV packets are typically transmitted via an SCO link, which is typically transmitted via an eSC〇 link. Figure 8 is an exemplary diagram of a one-person HV3 packet transmission for every six time slots. An ACL link (also known as an asynchronous link) is a point-to-multipoint link between the master device and all slave devices in the PAN. There is no time slot reserved for ACL links. The master device establishes an ACL link with any slave device based on each time slot. After the ACL link is established (ie, entering the connection state), ACL packets (such as dm, DH, and AUX packets) are usually used for data transmission. ❹ In addition, the master device regularly transfers packets to keep the slave device synchronized with the channel. Figure 9 is a schematic diagram showing the exemplary connection state of the ACL link. In the active mode 910 of the connected state, both the master device and the slave device actively participate in one channel. The master device schedules round-trip transmissions between different slave devices based on the traffic demand. If an active slave device is not processed, then the active slave device goes to sleep until the next master pass. During the listening mode of the connected state (sniff m〇de) 93〇, the time slot when the slave device is in the listening state is shortened to save power consumption. In addition, during the listening mode 93〇, after reaching the monitoring anchor point (anch〇r P〇int), in the monitoring attempt containing 2, 4, 6 or 8 or more time slots, the master device is in and out. Switch between the device's round-trip transmission and the receiving packet. Figure 1() shows a schematic diagram of listening to m points. The listening and fixing points are regularly separated by 35Ts. During active mode 910 of the connected state, the master transmits data to the slave in any of the master-slave time slots. During the listening mode 930, after listening to the error point, the master device is in the one or more master-slave slots of the listening attempt (for example, after listening to the fixed point, the listening attempt of the heart in the first map). Transfer data from the destruction. Figure u is a schematic diagram of the data transfer between the master device and the slave device. In the active mode 0758-A34330TWF_MTKI-09-] 13 201016068 and the listening mode, 'the slave device receives the data from the master device in the previous master_slave time slot' and the slave device transmits to the master device in the slave-master time slot. data. After the slave device receives the polling/empty packet (also referred to as polling by the master node) or the data packet (also referred to as receiving data) from the master device, the slave device may transmit the data packet (also referred to as the routing data) or the null to the master device. Packet (also referred to as a response). In order to avoid ACL link disconnection during the active mode 910, the slave device frequently listens in the master-slave time slot, and during the listening mode 93〇, when the monitoring anchor point is reached, the slave device performs in the master-slave time slot. monitor. Note that if the primary s is not ready to receive any response within a preset number of polls, transmissions, or preset time periods, the primary device automatically disconnects the ACL from the secondary device. For the Bluetooth protocol not mentioned, reference may be made to the corresponding IEEE 8〇2 15 standard, which is succinct and will not be described again. IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX) is a wireless broadband access standard for outdoor, long-haul and carrier-class carrier-class applications. The 802.16 standard supports licensed and unlicensed (1)cense-exempt) spectrums where the 802.16a standard specifies operation in the 2 to 10 GHz band and supports up to 75 channels from 1.5 MHz to 20 MHz variable channel bandwidth. 41) The original bit rate of /8. The \^]^ human module (such as the 802.16 radio module 102) can employ Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology with 20MHz bandwidth. The operating band of the WiMAX communication service shown in Table 1 is close to the operating band of WLAN and Bluetooth communication. Figures 12a through 12c are schematic diagrams of examples of multiple radio coherent scenarios. Mobile phone 1100 and laptop 1200 are embodiments of mobile electronic device 100 and include an IEEE 802.16 radio module for providing WiMAX communication services, 〇 758-A34330TWF_MTKI-09-l 13 for providing Bluetooth communication services 14 201016068 At least one IEEE 802.15.1 radio module and an IEEE 802.11 radio module for providing WLAN communication services. For the hardware architecture of the co-located radio module, refer to Figure 1 and the corresponding description. As shown in Fig. 12a, the mobile telephone 11 utilizes a full duplex voice call GSM communication service through the base station 11〇3, while performing Internet browsing via the relay station 1102 via WiMAX. The mobile phone 1100 transmits the voice data to the Bluetooth headset 11〇1 through the established PAN and receives the Bluetooth headset 1101 via the embedded Bluetooth module (such as the IEEE 802.15.1 radio module group 103 shown in FIG. 1). The captured voice signal. As described above, since the WiMAX module (such as the IEEE 8〇2.i 6 radio module 102 shown in FIG. 1) and the Bluetooth module operate in adjacent frequency bands and are mutually positioned as shown in FIG. Proximity, so there is interference between the WiMAX module and the Bluetooth module. Figure 13 is a diagram showing exemplary traffic patterns for 802.15.1 transmission (Τχ) and reception (RX) data frame assignments and 802.16 downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) data frame assignments. When the Bluetooth module transmits the data in the rib 2.15.1 frame 210 to the Bluetooth headset 1101 via the air interface, the WiMAX module simultaneously receives data from the relay station 〇1〇2 via the air interface to the 8〇2 16 frame 220. The Bluetooth data transmitted in the 'transmission' can be extracted from the group and interfere with the acquisition process. Similarly, when the module fails to transmit the data in the 802.16 frame 230 to the relay station 11〇2 via the air interface, and the Bluetooth module simultaneously receives the data from the Bluetooth headset 1101 via the air interface, in the frame 240. The transmitted WiMAX material can be extracted by the Bluetooth module and interfere in the process of capturing. For long-distance transmission, WiMAX's (Τχ) power is usually stronger than the receiving (four) power received by the Bluetooth module. Therefore, when the transmitted WiMAX data is captured by the Bluetooth module, the interference problem becomes more severe. 0758-A34330TWF MTKI -09-113 ~ 15 201016068 Figure 12b shows a schematic diagram of another interference caused by the Bluetooth and WLAN modules. The mobile phone can use the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication service, and can be connected via WLAN via the WLAN module (such as the 802.11 radio module ι〇1 shown in Figure 1). Receive ν〇ΙΡ data from the Internet and vice versa. Next, the mobile phone 1100 transmits the voice data to the Bluetooth headset 1101 through the established PAN and receives the voice signal captured by the microphone of the Bluetooth headset 11〇1 through the Bluetooth module. As mentioned above, since the WLAN module and the Bluetooth module share the spectrum and are adjacent to each other as shown in Fig. 1, interference occurs between the WLAN module and the Bluetooth module. Figure 12c shows a schematic diagram of another interference scenario that causes interference between the Bluetooth and WiMAX modules. The knee-top device 1200 receives multimedia streams or data from the relay station 1102 via WiMAX and simultaneously transmits audio material to the Bluetooth headset 11〇1. The Bluetooth headset 11〇1 can be used as a wireless headset to play music received from the laptop 1200 in Figure 12c. The laptop 1200 and the Bluetooth headset 1101 are compatible with the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP). Using the ACL link to pass the unidirectional dual channel (1111丨_(^1;丨〇1 1-channel) stereo audio stream from the Bluetooth module of the laptop 1200 to the Bluetooth headset, where the single Directivity two-channel stereo audio streams such as MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, Advanced Audio Coding (AAC), Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding (ATRAC) or other audio streams. As mentioned above, since the wiMAX module and the Bluetooth module operate in adjacent frequency bands and are adjacent to each other as shown in Fig. 1, interference occurs between the WiMAX module and the Bluetooth module. -A34330TWF^MTKf-09-!I:, 16 201016068 Therefore, in order to avoid interference between the WiMAX module and the Bluetooth module, a method for coordinating the operation of the CLC radio module in the communication device is urgently needed. It is a block diagram of the IEEE 802.16m protocol architecture. IEEE 802.16m Medium Access Control (MAC) is divided into two sub-layers: Convergence Sublayer (CS) 1401 and Common Part Sublayer (Common Part Sublayer, CPS).MAC Universal The layer is further divided into a Radio Resource Control and 10 Management (RRCM) function and a MAC function. The RRCM function is implemented on a control plane. The MAC function is implemented on the control plane and the data plane. The RRCM function includes Multiple functional blocks associated with radio resource functions, such as: • Radio Resource Management Block 1402; • Mobility Management Block 1403; • Incoming Network Management Block 1404; • Location Management Block 1405; • • Idle Mode Management Block 1406; • Security Management Block 1407; • System Configuration Management Block 1408; • Multicast Broadcast Service (MBS) Block 1409; • Service Flow and Connection Management Block 1410; • Relay Function block 1411; • SelfOrganization block 1412; and 0758-A34330TWFMTKI-09-113 17 201016068 • Multi-carrier block 1413.

The access management block 1404 is used for initialization and access procedures. The network management block generates management messages required during the access process, namely ranging, basic capacity negotiation (Basic Capabilities Negotiation), and registration. The location and the S block 1405 are used to support the Lscati〇n Based Service (LBS). Location management block 1405 generates information including LBS information. The idle mode official block 1406 processes the management location update operation during the idle mode. The idle mode management block 14〇6 controls the idle mode operation and generates a paging announcement message based on a paging message from the core network paging controller. The security management block 14〇7 is used for authentication/authorization and key management of secure communication. The system configuration management block 14〇8 manages the system configuration 0758-A34330TWF_MTKI-09-] 13 , 〇 201016068 parameters, and transmits system configuration information to the MS/AMS. The Enhanced Multicast Broadcast Service (E-MBS) block 1409 controls management messages and management messages and materials associated with broadcast and/or multicast services. The Service Flow and Connection Management Block 1410 assigns station identifiers (STIDs) and flow identifiers (fi〇w identifiers, FIDs) during the access/delivery/service flow generation process. The relay function block 1411 includes a function of supporting a multi-hop relay (muiti_h〇p reiay) mechanism, and the function includes a function of a process of maintaining a relay path (relay_path) between the ABS and the access ARS. Self-organizing block 1412 performs functions that support self configuration and self-optimization mechanisms, and the function includes requesting RSs/MSs to report self-configuration and self-optimized measurements and receive from RSs/MSs. Speculation. A multi-carrier (MC) block 1413 enables a general-purpose MAC entity to control the physical layer (Physical, ΡΗ γ) to spread over multiple frequency channels. These channels are of different bandwidths (e.g., 5, 10, and 20 MHz) in adjacent or non-adjacent bands. Channels have the same or different duplex modes and only broadcast carriers, where duplex mode such as Frequency Division Duplex (FDD), Time Divisi〇 Duplex (TDD) or bidirectional (bidirectional) mixing. For adjacent frequency channels, overlapping guard subcarriers are arranged in the frequency domain for data transmission. The control plane portion of the MAC functional group includes functional blocks related to physical layer and link control, such as: • physical layer control block 1414; • control signal transmission block 1415; • sleep mode management block 1416; • service quality (Quality of Service, Q〇s) Block 1417; 0758-A34330TWF_MTKI-09-l 13 19 201016068 • Scheduling and Resource Scheduling

Multiplexing) Block 1418; • Multiple radio coexistence blocks 1419; • Data Forwarding block 1420; • Interference management block 1421; and • Inter-ABS Coordination block. The physical layer control block 1414 processes the physical layer signal transmission, such as the measurement, the channel quality information (CQI), and the hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) ACK/NACK. Estimating the channel quality observed by MS/AMS based on CQI and HARQ ACK/NACK 'physical layer control block' and performing link adaptation by adjusting Modulation And Coding Schemes (MCS) and/or power level . The physical layer control block 1414 performs UL synchronization on power adjustment, frequency offset, and timing offset estimation during the ranging process. Control Signal Transmit Block 415 generates a resource configuration message. Sleep mode management block 1416 handles sleep mode operations. The sleep mode management block 1416 also generates a Mac signal transmission associated with the sleep operation and communicates with the resource multiplex block 1418 to operate in accordance with the sleep cycle. For each connection, based on the QoS parameters entered from the service flow and connection management block 1 bucket 10, QoS block 1417 processes the processing q〇s management. The scheduling and resource multiplex block 1418 schedules and multiplexes the packets based on the attributes of the connection. To reflect the connection attributes, the schedule and resource multiplex block 1418 receives the Q〇s information for each connection from the QoS block. The plurality of radio coexisting blocks 1419 have the function of performing simultaneous operation of the IEEE 802.16m and non-IEEE 802.16m radios located on the same mobile station as 0758-A34330TWFMTKI-09-113 20 201016068. If the RSS is on the path between the ABS and the AMS, the data forwarding block 1420 performs the forward function. The feed forward block 1420 cooperates with other blocks, such as the schedule and resource multiplex block 1418 and the Protocol Data Unit (pDu) format block 1424. The interference management block 1421 has the function of handling inter-cell/sector (four) version gamma interference. The handling of interference includes: · MAC layer operation and PHY layer operation. The MAC layer operation consists of transmitting a transmission interference measurement/evaluation report via a 纟MAC signal and interference suppression through scheduling and flexible frequency reuse. ❹ PHY layer operations include: transmit power control, dry-to-machine, interference cancellation, interference measurement, and Tx beamforming/precoding (beamforming/precodiii). The inter-ABS coordination block has the function of coordinating the actions of multiple ABSs by exchanging information (e.g., interference management). This function includes the process of information exchange through backbone signaling and MS/AMS MAC message transmission, such as switching interference management between ABSs. The information includes interference characteristics such as interference measurement results. The data plane includes the following MAC functions: ® • Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) block 1422; • Fragmentation/Packing block 1423; and • MAC PDU format block 1424.

The ARQ block 1422 has a function of processing MAC ARQ.

Each 20ms super-frame is divided into four 5ms equal size radio frames. If the same Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) parameter is used for the channel bandwidth of 5 MHz, 10 MHz or 20 MHz, each 5 ms radio frame is further composed of eight sub-frames. The sub frame is used for DL or UL transmission. According to the size of the cycle prefix (Cyeijc prenx), the sub-frames are divided into four categories: 1) type-1 sub-frame, composed of six OFDMA symbols, some of which can be idle pays; 2) type_2 sub-message The box consists of a puncture symbol and five OFDma symbols; 3) a type 3 sub-frame consisting of seven OFDMA symbols (with one symbol added); 4) a type_4 sub-frame consisting of nine OFDMA symbol composition (three symbols added). Referring again to FIG. 1 'According to an embodiment of the present invention, the IEEE 802 16 radio module 102 provides a protocol that supports multiple radio coexistence operations. In one embodiment of the present invention, the 'CLC Radio Manager 1-4 provides interfaces for the radio modules 101, 102, and 103, detects the activity of the radio modules ι〇1, 1〇2, and 103, and coordinates with the co-located radio. Activity-related information is collected into the mobile electronic device 1GG and generates management messages and transmitted to a plurality of radio coexisting processing modules (such as the plurality of radio coexisting functional blocks (4) 9 shown in FIG. 14) in response to corresponding actions, thereby supporting Operation of multiple radios coexisting' information related to co-located radio activities (such as time characteristics and radio characteristics) directly from the corresponding CLC radio module or internal radio 0758-A34330TWF_MTKI-OQ-113 201016068 inter-radio interface . It is noted that the CLC radio manager i 〇 4 can also be implemented within the radio modules 101, 102 and/or 1-3, and the invention is not limited thereto. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the IEEE 802.16 radio module 102 and the base station or relay station (e.g., base station 11〇3 and relay station 11〇2) can communicate with one another via an air interface. 802 The 802.16 radio module 1〇2 can generate management messages to report information related to its co-located radio activity, where the co-located radio activity is obtained directly from the inter-radio interface or the CLC radio manager 1〇4, and the BS Or the RS can generate a management message to respond to the corresponding action of the IEEE 802.16 radio module 102, thereby supporting the operation of multiple radio coexistence. Moreover, a plurality of radio coexistence functional blocks 1419 at the BS or RS can communicate with the scheduling and resource multiplexing function block 1418 to operate in accordance with the reported coexistence coexistence activity. Multiple radio coexistence functions can operate independently of sleep mode to allow for optimal power efficiency while also supporting high level co-location coexistence operations. However, if the sleep mode provides sufficient co-location coexistence support, multiple radio coexistence functions may not be utilized. ❹ τ IEEE 802.16 radio module 1〇2 can support the co-location non-802·16 (ηοη-802·16) radio while pre-negotiating period f1 leaves the pre-neg〇tiated periodic absence Operation, non-802.16 radios are CLC radios, such as IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15.1, etc. and the time pattern of this time period can be divided into multiple clc levels to achieve optimal time and/or spectral efficiency. As shown in Table 2, there are three types of CLC levels' depending on the time unit of the CLC start time, the activity period, and the activity interval, and the three types are different from each other. The CLC activity interval is the time 075 8-A343 30TWF-MTK1-09-Π 3 201016068 when the CLC level is specified for co-location of non-802.16 radio activities. The CLC activity period is the time interval of the active style of the CLC level. The CLC start time is the start time of the CLC level. Table 2: Time unit of CLC level parameter CLC activity period CLC activity interval ------ CLC start time type I microsecond sub-frame sub-frame type II frame sub-frame type ΙΠ not applicable super-frame super Block According to an embodiment of the invention, the IEEE 802.16 radio module i02 may determine the CLC active interval and the CLC active period based on the activity of the co-located non-802.16 radio. The mobile electronic device 100 can determine the CLC start time for type I and type π CLC levels. The BS can determine the CLC start time for Type II and Type in CLC levels. The recommended type I CLC level is for non-802.16 radio activity' which has a low duty cycle and is not aligned with the 802.16 frame boundary. Differently, the Type II CLC level is recommended for scheduling flexibility. The Type III CLC rating is recommended for continuous non-802.16 radio activity, which can last longer than expected, such as a few seconds. According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the communication state of the co-located non-802.16 radio module has changed, the learning phase is entered for the IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX) radio module 102 and/or the CLC radio manager 1〇4 (learning phase) To identify the radio characteristics of the corresponding CLC radio module, where the co-located non-802.16 radio module is also referred to as a CLC radio module, such as the IEEE 802.11 radio module 1.1 or the IEEE 802.15.1 radio module 103. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the interface is connected to no 0758-A34330TWF MTKI-09-113 201016068

The CLC radio manager 1〇4 between the line modules 101, 1〇2 and 103 can measure each CLC radio module (4), and the money knows the change of the communication state. For example, 'changes in communication status occur when the Bluetooth module or WLAN module is turned on, off, or denied, the Bluetooth module performs a query process to discover nearby devices, or performs a paging (connection) process to establish a specific link. When the WLAN module performs an access procedure to attempt to associate with Ap or change between different communication modes, the Bluetooth module changes between the listening mode 93A and the active mode 910 shown in FIG. In one embodiment of the present invention, the radio modules 101, 1〇2, and 1〇3 can introduce signals to the CLC radio manager 104 via a hardware pin or issue a software/firmware interrupt signal to indicate the corresponding radio module. Activation/deactivation. In another embodiment of the invention, the CLC radio manager 104 can also monitor the radio signals of the radio modules 101, 102 and/or 101 to estimate the degree of signal interference based on the signal power. For example, if the signal quality of the radio signal of the WiMAX module 102 is continuously reduced, it means that another activated radio module causes signal interference. During the learning phase, the WiMAX module 102 requests a departure from the serving BS for a period of time to support the initial setup or connection setup operations of the CLC radio module. Figure 16 is a diagram showing the flow of message flows for a CLC request in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. The WiMAX module 102 can transmit a CLC request (CLC_Request) to the serving BS to indicate activation of the CLC radio module and request to leave for a period of time. The serving BS responds to the CLC request before the CLC start time. If the serving BS accepts the CLC request, it is preferable to avoid data transmission between the serving BS and the WiMAX module during this time period. That is, 0758-A34330TWF_MTK]-O9-11 201016068 ,, during this time period, the radio resources of the mobile electronic device 100 are preferably reserved for the activation of the co-located non-802.16 radio module to obtain its radio characteristics. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the radio characteristics of the CLC radio module may include the transmission power, the reception sensitivity, the traffic pattern (such as the traffic pattern not shown in Fig. 13), and the like. The wiMAX module 1〇2 and/or the CLC radio manager 1〇4 then further identifies the obtained radio characteristics from the activated/activating clC radio module. The WiMAX module 112 can transmit another cLc request to the serving BS to indicate the deactivation of the co-located non-802.16 radio module when the CLC radio module has been deactivated or to indicate the initial setting of the cLc radio module or The connection settings have been completed. Service afterwards

Data transfer between BS and WiMAX modules. In an embodiment of the invention, the WiMAX module 102 may transmit a CLC request message to activate, terminate or reconfigure one or more Type j, Type II or/and Type III CLC levels. Table 3 lists the clc request message parameters. Table 3: CLC Request Message Parameters Management Message Type Request Action Request Action Parameters

When the bit #i of the requested action field is 〇 〇 日, if the CXC level with CLC ID=i exists, it indicates that the WiMAX module ι〇2 has requested to terminate the existing level.

For the existing CLC m, the MS maintains its presence configuration and requests to reconfigure or replace its existing CLC level. The requested action parameters are included as a CLC information mix. If the WiMAX module 1〇2 wants to include multiple CLC^ blocks, these parameters appear more than once. CLC information can include CLCID, CLC level difficulty, traffic pattern, and the start time of the radio parameters. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a high resolution target pattern of up to one frame time unit is described to increase time and/or spectral efficiency. Methods for describing traffic patterns may include: bitmap, coexistence rati〇, active window and inactive window (inactjve wind〇w), instant (fast) return mining, etc. The style will be detailed in the subsequent paragraphs).

In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the wiMAX module can transmit the CLC request to the service B S ' to request to leave a long period of time to support the learning phase' where the CLC request has a CLC level set to type m. CLC 0758-A34330TWF_MTKI-09-l 13 29 201016068 Levels can be specified using the flag field as described above. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the WiMAX module can also transmit a CLC request to the serving BS to directly request a learning period for the learning phase. Figure 17 is a diagram showing the interaction of a message flow of a C L C request in a learning phase in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. After detecting the CLC radio activity, the WiMAX module 102 transmits a CLC request without the CLC parameter to the serving BS to request a learning period. During the learning period, the radio resources of the mobile electronic device 1 are preferably reserved for activating the CLC radio module in order to obtain its radio characteristics. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, data transfer between the serving BS and the WiMAX module 102 is preferably avoided during this time. However, if the service Bs needs to transmit data to the WiMAX module 102, the serving BS can enhance the reliability of the communication. The serving BS can utilize a more robust downlink modulation and coding scheme (MCS), increase downlink data burst transmission power, and allow downlink and uplink in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Use ARQ or HARQ for more retransmissions. For example, the service Bs may utilize a more robust downlink MCS by reducing the MCS order or reducing the code rate or other means, wherein reducing the MCS order, such as replacing the previously used data or (sub-MAP) MAP modulation with qPSK 16 -QAM. If the CLC radio module cannot acquire all the corresponding radio characteristics during the time period of the near timeout period, the WiMAX module 102 can transmit another CLC request to start another learning phase or extend the learning. stage. The serving BS can respond to the WiMAX module 1〇2 with a CLC response message, wherein the CLC response message packet confirms the extension of the learning phase or rejects the corresponding request. After obtaining the radio characteristics of the activated radio module, the WiMAX module 1〇2 and/or CLC has no 0758-A34330TWFMTKI-09-113. 〇201016068 The line manager 104 can determine the CLC type corresponding to the CLC radio module accordingly. And CLC parameters. After obtaining and confirming the radio characteristics corresponding to the CLC radio module, the WiMAX module enters the negotiation phase (neg〇tiati〇I1 phase) to describe the obtained CLC radio activity pattern and deliver it to the service bs. The CLC radio activity pattern includes parameters that describe the CLC radio activity acquired during the learning phase or obtained from a predefined configuration. CLC Radio Activity Refer to the descriptions in Figure 6, Figure 8, Figure 1 and Figure π. For example ® , the CLC radio activity pattern of an activated CLC radio module can include information about transmission power, reception sensitivity, start time, duration, type of transmission and reception, and so on. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the traffic pattern of the WiMAX module 112 for DL and UL data traffic scheduling can be further generated according to the acquired traffic pattern of the CLC radio module, thereby coordinating the CLC radio mode. Group and wiMAX module 1〇2 operation. The resulting traffic pattern can describe multiple recommended downlink and/or uplink traffic assignments for WiMAX module 1〇2. Thus, one or more radio resources of the mobile electronic device 100 can be coordinated to avoid signal interference or to send and receive collisions. In the negotiation phase, the WiMAX module 102 can request to leave the serving BS for one or more time periods based on the generated traffic pattern request to support the operation of the co-located non-8 216 216 radio. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the WiMAX module 102 transmits a CLC request with the generated traffic pattern to the serving BS, wherein the generated traffic pattern is used for a certain CLC level of the WiMAX module. Figure 18 is a diagram showing the interaction of a message flow of a CLC request in a negotiation phase in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. For details on the CLC request message parameters, refer to Table 3, Table 4, and their corresponding paragraphs. 0758-A34330TWF—MTK1-09-113 201016068 As described above, in an embodiment of the present invention, the traffic pattern has a high resolution of up to one subframe time unit in order to improve time and/or spectral efficiency, . Methods for describing traffic patterns may include: bit maps, coexistence ratios, active windows and inactive windows, instant (fast) feedback, and the like. A bit map is a sequence of bits comprising a plurality of bit information to describe the traffic pattern using different logical levels of the bits. For example, setting the bit to the first logic level means that the BS does not service the wiMAX module 102 during the corresponding time interval because the CLC radio module has radio activity during this time interval. If the right bit is set to the second logic level, B S can freely assign the downlink key or uplink traffic to the W i M A X module 丨〇 2 during the corresponding time interval. (4) The CLC radio service pattern is a sub-frame bit map (for type H CLC level) that describes the message pattern of each sub-frame by a bit. The first logical level of the bit in the sub-frame bit map indicates that the recommended BS does not allocate downlink or uplink traffic to the WiMAX module 1 在 2 during the corresponding subframe interval, the second bit The logic level indicates that Bs freely allocates downlink or uplink traffic to WiMAX module 1〇2 during the corresponding subframe interval. As a result, a 1-byte of a bitmap can include a frame of traffic information, where each bit is used to describe a sub-frame. For example, it is also possible to describe the DL traffic pattern and the UL traffic pattern separately using two bit maps. Another example can also describe the message style of each frame by a bit information. Therefore, 4 bits in the 'bit map' can be used to describe the traffic information of a hyperframe. The coexistence ratio represents the retention time of the CLC radio module. For example, a 30% coexistence ratio indicates that the recommended BS ensures that a preset time interval of 30% is best reserved for CLC radio activity. The coexistence ratio applies to non-weekly 0758-A34330TWF_MTKI-09-113 32 201016068 $ M cu: Wireless u move. The active window and the inactive window specify the start of the $frame, the number of frames, or the number of subframes, as well as the calendar duration and inactivity duration of the clc radio activity. The window can utilize milliseconds, hyperframes, frames, or subframe time units based on the CLC type. The immediate (fast) feedback is a dedicated UL resource assigned by the feedback channel or the serving BS to allow the wiMAx module to report its radio > source preference (ρπ & πηα) in subsequent communications. Instant (fast) feedback Suitable for CLC radios with dynamic traffic patterns. After receiving the CLC radio activity pattern, the service bs responds to the WiMAX module 102 with a confirmation code with a CLC® response message to indicate whether the CLC request has been accepted. If the CLC radio activity pattern is needed or updated when the bs load has changed, the serving BS further decides whether to modify the CLC parameters. Based on the received CLC radio activity pattern, the serving BS schedules the downlink and uplink wiMAX traffic assignments based on the recommended frame pattern of the WiMAX module 102 obtained from the CLC request message. Scheduled downlink and uplink WiMAX traffic assignments can be specified in the corresponding downlink MAP messages and uplink MAP® messages (DL_MAP and UL_MAP), with corresponding downlink and uplink MAP messages Periodically broadcast by the serving BS. Based on the recognition of the CLC radio activity pattern, subsequent data transmission and reception of WiMAX modules and CLC radio modules are interleaved to avoid transmission collisions. According to an embodiment of the present invention, if the communication state or radio characteristics of the activated CLC radio module have changed, the WiMAX module 102 further updates the CLC parameters, wherein the change, for example, the WLAN module enters or leaves the PS mode, and the Bluetooth device is established. Or release SCO, eSCO or ACL links. Figure 19 is a diagram showing the interaction of a CLC requested message stream for 0758-A34330TWF MTKI-09-113 33 201016068 update/delete/create CLC parameters in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. If the clc radio characteristics have changed, or the CLC radio has been deactivated, or a new CLC radio activity is detected, WiMAX Module 1 〇 2 can transmit CLC requests to update CLC parameters, delete previous CLC requests, or create new ones. CLC request. The serving BS can modify the DL and UL WiMAX traffic assignments based on the received CLC request and respond to the WiMAX module 102 with the disc identification code with the CLC response message to indicate whether the CLC request has been accepted through the air interface. The serving BS then schedules WiMAX data traffic based on the modified downlink and uplink WiMAX traffic patterns. According to an embodiment of the invention, the radio module may include a Traffic Pattern Generator (TPG) for generating a corresponding traffic pattern. The CLC radio manager 104 includes a Synchronization Information Generator (Synchronization Information Generator). SIG) for coordinating traffic patterns obtained from different radio modules. As shown in FIG. 1, the IEEE 802.11 radio module 101 may include TPG 3 (H, the IEEE 802.16 radio module 102 may include a TPG 302, and the IEEE 802.15.1 radio module 103 may include a TPG 3〇3, a CLC radio. The manager 104 can include a SIG 304. The reference SIG 304 can coordinate the traffic patterns of different radio modules according to a reference clock, wherein the reference clock is synchronized with the serving BS and received from the IEEE 802.16 radio module 102. For example, the TPG 303 can be The radio characteristics acquired during the learning phase produce the Bluetooth HV3 traffic pattern and transmit the Bluetooth HV3 traffic pattern to the SIG 304. As mentioned earlier, the methods for describing the traffic pattern include: Bitmap, Coexistence Ratio, Active Window, and Non- Active window, instant (fast) feedback, etc. For example, TPG301 can use 丨150#, 625〆375 to describe the Bluetooth HV3 traffic pattern, where the first parameter represents the start time of HV3 traffic, and the second 〇 758-A3433〇 TWF_MTKI-09-113 34 201016068 The parameter represents the length of the HV3 traffic, and the third parameter represents the repetition period of the HV3 traffic. That is, the information carried by the Bluetooth HV3 traffic pattern indicates that the HV3 is 625/zs in length. Start after 150/^, and HV3 traffic repeats every 3750/zs. For example, TPG 303 can output HV3 radio activity 150/zs earlier than the start of HV3 traffic. SIG 304 further from WiMAX module 102 receives the original DL_MAP and UL_MAP, the frame clock and the subframe clock, and generates a wiMAx traffic pattern. The WiMAX traffic pattern describes the recommended downlink according to the HV3 traffic pattern, the original DL DL-MAP, and the UL_MAP. / or uplink traffic assignment.

Figure 20 is a flow diagram of a method for generating a recommended wiMAX traffic pattern in accordance with the present invention. After receiving the traffic pattern from the CLC radio module (step S2〇01), the SIG 304 transforms the traffic pattern according to the reference clock of the WiMAX module 1〇2 (step S2002). For example, the sig 304 converts the CLC traffic pattern according to the frame clock and/or the sub-frame clock of the WiMAX module 102 to characterize the clc® traffic pattern in the WiMAX frame or subframe time unit. It should be noted that since the CLC radio module can utilize the reference clock with timing characteristics, which is different from the WiMAX module 1〇2, the SIG 304 needs the transformation in step S2002 to transform the traffic pattern represented by the CLC radio module timing. The clc message style described for WiMAX timing. Finally, the SIG 304 generates the recommended WiMAX traffic pattern based on the transformed CLC traffic pattern (step S2003). * Note that in an embodiment of the invention, the CLC radio manager 104 can be implemented by a software/firmware module. However, for precise timing, some of the functions of the CLC Radio Manager 1 (e.g., SIG 304) may also be implemented by a hardware device for quick response and the present invention is not limited to 0758-A34330TWF MTK1-09-113 35 201016068. In addition, the SIG 304 or CLC radio manager i〇4 can also be implemented within the WiMAX module 102. Thus, in some embodiments of the invention, the WiMAX module 102 or the TPG 302 may also receive the CLC traffic pattern, transform the CLC traffic pattern, and accordingly generate the recommended WiMAX traffic pattern, and the invention is not limited thereto. Figure 21 is a diagram of a traffic pattern architecture in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the CLC traffic is Bluetooth HV3 traffic and the WiMAX traffic pattern is described by the subframe frame image. Figure 22 is a flow diagram of a method of generating a sub-frame bit map in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. After converting the CLC traffic pattern according to the frame clock and the subframe clock of the WiMAX module 102, the SIG 304 or WiMAX module 1〇2 determines whether there is any CLC radio activity for the subsequent WiMAX subframe according to the transformed CLC traffic pattern. (Step S2201). If any CLC radio activity exists in the corresponding subsequent subframe, the bit corresponding to the subframe is set to the first logic level (step S2202). For example, the logical "〇" means that the recommended BS does not snar the downlink or uplink traffic to the WiMAX module 102 during the corresponding subframe interval. 'If there is no CLC radio activity in the corresponding subsequent subframe. 'The bit corresponding to the subframe is set to the second logic level (step S2203). For example, the logic "r" means that the BS freely allocates downlink or uplink traffic to the WiMAX module 102 during the corresponding subframe interval. Next, the SIG 3〇4 or the wiMAX module 1〇2 further determines whether all of the bits in the sub-frame bit map have been set (step S2204). If all of the bits in the subframe bit map have been set, the SIG 304 or WiMAX module ι 2 outputs the recommended wiMAX traffic pattern (step S2205). If no, the process returns to step S2201. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the length of the subframe/frame symbol image is based on the CLX radio signal repetition period and the least common multiple of the WiMAX subframe/frame interval ( Least Common Multiple, LCM). Take the Bluetooth HV3 traffic style {iso#, 625, 375_} as an example. The length of the sub-frame bitmap is obtained by LCM (3750, 5000)/5000, ie LCM (3750, 5000)/5000=3 digits. Tuple. Therefore, the SIG 304 or WiMAX module 102 can generate a 3-byte sub-frame bit map to describe the recommended WiMAX traffic patterns for 3 frames (ie, 24 sub-frames), and every three messages. The frame re-uses the sub-frame bit map. Figure 23 is a diagram of a traffic pattern architecture in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the 'active window' and the inactive window are used to describe the beacon frame interval of the WLAN module 101. The repetition period of the beacon frame is 102.4 ms. If the 802.16 frame falls into the CLC active window, the recommended BS does not assign downlink or uplink traffic to the WiMAX module 102 during the corresponding frame time interval. If the 8 〇 216 frame falls into the CLC inactive view window, the BS freely allocates downlink or uplink traffic to the WiMAX module 102 during the corresponding frame time interval. Figure 24 is a diagram of a traffic pattern architecture in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, instant (fast) feedback is used to describe the beacon interval of the WLAN module 101. The bearer bit map is fed back (fast) to indicate the CLC radio activity of the 8〇2.11 beacon. In this embodiment, because of the input beacon, the logic "〇" in the bit map indicates that the recommended BS does not assign downlink or uplink information to the WiMAX module 1〇2 during the corresponding frame time interval. The logical "1" in the bit map indicates that the recommended BS is free to allocate downlink or uplink signals to the WiMAX module 1〇2 during the corresponding frame time interval. 758-A34330TWF_MTKI-09-l 13 37 201016068 Business. According to an embodiment of the present invention, after generating the recommended WiMAX traffic pattern, the CLC radio manager 104 can generate a management message carrying the recommended WiMAX traffic pattern to multiple radio coexistence processing modules to respond with corresponding actions. Support multiple radio coexistence operations, where the recommended WiMAX traffic style is, for example, the WiMAX DL/UL sub-frame bit map shown in Figure 21, the active/inactive window shown in Figure 23, or Figure 24 Instant (fast) feedback; multiple radio coexistence processing modules such as the plurality of radio coexistence functional blocks 1419 shown in FIG. As mentioned above, the WiMAX module 102 can also directly generate the recommended WiMAX traffic pattern, and the invention is not limited thereto. Next, in the negotiation phase as described above, the plurality of radio coexistence processing modules of the WiMAX module 102 generate a CLC request to the serving BS, wherein the CLC request is used to characterize the acquired traffic pattern. For Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) WiMAX, two traffic patterns (ie DL and UL traffic patterns) are required. For Time Division Duplex (TDD) WiMAX, DL and UL can be used. The traffic patterns are transmitted to the serving BS respectively or merged into a traffic pattern before being transmitted to the serving BS. After the serving BS receives the traffic pattern, the scheduling of the serving BS and the resource multiplex block 1418 respectively schedule the DL and UL traffic, and the control signal transmitting block 1415 of the serving BS generates new DL_MAP and UL_MAP according to the scheduling result. . After the WiMAX module 1〇2 receives the new DL JVIAP and UL_MAP generated by the serving BS, the WiMAX module 102 allocates the DL and UL messages to receive the data frame or the data frame from the serving BS to the service Bs accordingly. According to an embodiment of the present invention, since new DL_MAP and ULJMAP are generated based on the recommended WiMAX traffic pattern,

0758-A34330TWF_MTK!-09-l 13 3S 201016068 According to the newly received DL-MAP and UL_MAP, it can better coordinate the UL traffic assignment and thus avoid transmission and reception conflicts.

The generation of WiMAX traffic patterns corresponds to the radio activity of IEEE 802.16 radio modules and the green-free activity of co-located non-802.16 radio modules. However, when there is any CLC activity, if the service Bs needs to transmit data to the WiMAX module 102, as described above, the service Bs can be enhanced/reliable. For example, service bs may utilize a more robust lower row key ς MCS, increase downlink robust transmission power, allow ARQ or HARQ retransmission in downlink and 上行 uplinks, and the like.
